2010

Action / Horror

Synopsis

Daniel Rey along with his wife, Kristi; daughter, Ali; toddler son, Hunter, and their dog, move to Carlsbad, California. A few days later their residence is broken into, however, nothing appears to be missing. In order to prevent re-occurrences, they install a number of security cameras that will record everything on a DVR. After they hire a Spanish-speaking nanny to look after Hunter, she informs them that there is something wrong in their house and performs prayers, much to the chagrin of Daniel, who lets her go. He will subsequently regret this decision as more inexplicable and strange incidents occur, with Ali concluding, after a research, that their house may be possessed by a demonic entity.

Rehash of old formula but still good!

Its clearly takes a lot from the previous movies but since the execution is also pretty good while not being a whole lot different. I still found this scary and enjoyable enough. I loved the first movie and wanted to watch the second and for me it certainly was not disappointing. But if the same formula will used for a 3rd film then I do not know if this will work or not even for me? But here in the second one it worked pretty well.

Doing the same thing over and over expecting similar results.

After experiencing what they think are a series of "break-ins", a family sets up security cameras around their home, only to realize that the events unfolding before them are more sinister than they seem.

"I don't know if the house is haunted, but I hope it is." Famous last words I know...this sequel was a little bit better and a little bit worse, but ultimately got a similar score. The format is the same...slow slow slow and then HOLY CRAP at the end. It was still fun, but after this movie I stopped seeing these on the big screen. This is still POV crack and I love it, but it's not worth seeing unless you are a fan of POV and the franchise.

An interesting and fun experience for a sequel!!

Paranormal activity was a huge success to the world but for me,I did not really care for it,it was boring,nothing actually happened but as for this,this..is brilliant. Paranormal Activity 2 is a prequel to the first film taking place a few months back and how SPOILER FOR THE FIRST FILM Katie became possessed. This film was actually the first Paranormal Activity film I ever watched and I thought it was horrifyingly creepy,the scene were Katie is violently dragged down the stairs in to the basement and have the demon scream,that was freakin terrifying. Paranormal activity 2 is awesome!!
